CHAPTER 18
Tools
18.1 Overview
This chapter explains how to upload new firmware, manage configuration files and restart your
GPON Device.
Use the instructions in this chapter to change the device’s configuration file or upgrade its firmware.
After you configure your device, you can backup the configuration file to a computer. That way if
you later misconfigure the device, you can upload the backed up configuration file to return to your
previous settings. You can alternately upload the factory default configuration file if you want to
return the device to the original default settings. The firmware determines the device’s available
features and functionality.
18.1.1 Some Warnings
The following are some friendly reminders about your device:
Do NOT turn off the GPON Device while a firmware upload is in progress!
Only use firmware for your device’s specific model. Refer to the label on
the bottom of your GPON Device.
18.2 Firmware Upgrade
Click Maintenance > Tools to open the Firmware screen. Follow the instructions in this screen to
upload firmware to your GPON Device. The upload process uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)
and may take up to two minutes. After a successful upload, the system will reboot.
